Everything about this hotel was outstanding. The staff were friendly and helpful as soon as you arrive. There is nothing they would not do to help you enjoy your stay. we had a problem with our television one night and they were quick to fix it. The rooms were exceptional and gave a great view of the city. Even though we were in a very busy part of Amsterdam, we did not hear any noise at night which was good.
